moe ghoul Posted January 6, 2017 Report Posted January 6, 2017 Yup, I should be back around the 15th unless we get nuked, but no later than the 20th. Super nice conditions today, low crowds, M1 and 2 were closed yesterday, so the mountain was relatively untouched this AM. Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 7, 2017 Report Posted January 7, 2017 Opening bell with bluebird skies 3', no wind. Stuck to the resort trails as my legs are getting toasty and the foot pain blows. M1 lift line is open top to bottom, did my 1st run down that and pretty much drained my tank, lol. Did a run down Drifter which was great in a few parts and sucked on the rest, lotsa ice. Veered off of that into Shakedown Street glades and realized that my edges were non existent, so a bit of a struggle to get down and keep it safe. Called it a day, had the heater guy in to install new zone valves and a control box. Turns out he reversed the wires on the 1st floor zone, so he had to come back out this afternoon to remedy. Sub zero temps on the way, so properly operating heater is a priority. Went to the pool for laps, hot tub and 1/2 hour shower. Chili for dinner and then heading to Martell's ( The old Red Fox) at the bottom of my hill for some hippy Dead tunes and a few beers. Might take the day off tomorrow and be a slug. I earned it. 3 Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 8, 2017 Report Posted January 8, 2017 Took 2 0' runs on Sterling and called it a day. Gonna warm up a bit this week. Snow guns blasting on various parts of the mountain in anticipation of the warm up. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Posted January 8, 2017 Moe Ghoul how cold was it this morning at Smuggs? Temepratures in PA were very vernontlike today. Vermont weather without the drive Quote
JFskiDan Posted January 8, 2017 Report Posted January 8, 2017 Oh...i got it. what is (2) zero degree runs....... Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 Fresh titty sparkles been falling since 2PM, about 1.5" so far. 2 Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 Smuggs was empty, packed pow with some ice in the usual spots. Winds are howling right now and temps went up. Right at the freezing point now. Looks like rain tonite/tomorrow. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Posted January 11, 2017 Moe Ghoul what skis have you been skiing on these days?? How are the woods holding up? Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 Been alternating between 4 pairs. Lhasa's on deeper pow days, SuperBros when I feel like long boarding, and Prophets or 9thwards on days like today. I'm gonna look for a new touring set up for next season. Woods depends on aspect, I haven't toured for various reasons, mostly because inbounds and easy access slack country has been good. I think I want to look at a shorter ski for the woods, 178ish, my reaction time as I get older is definitely slowing down. I was thinking of demoing the Soul7, I see a lot of peeps on them. Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 Sounds like we might dodge a rain bullet in the higher elevations, they're calling for 2-4" overnite. Stoked if it happens. Wasn't planning on skiing tomorrow due to earlier forecast. Glad I got a lot of shit done today. Quote

moe ghoul Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 Lotsa stuff. Had to basically re-fence my property the 1st week I was here, refinished furniture, re-upholstered 4 dining room chairs, handling mom's estate with the attorney, re organizing stuff, tossing stuff out, training the dogs, oh, and laundry.

moe ghoul Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 Good news. Hope temps stay down. We got less than 2" of goop. 50' and sunny now, the woods are toast. Heading back Friday, may try to make an appearance at Blue on Sunday, TNT and J-Law. Think cases of beer. Quote

You should ask on here. Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 11, 2017 Report Posted January 11, 2017 There's a 4pk of Mosaic for that ticket if anyone has a spare buddy pass. Quote
